THE business men of Mcclure are hav-
ing good trade. the town is located in and
with many well-to-do-f farmers which sup
ports good trade for the various business
interests of the town.
Mcclure is favored with four secret
organizations, Odd Fellows, Grange, Grand
Army and Good TempleIs. All have elected
and installed their officers for 1887. All seem
to start off with new life and hope of adding
strength to their organizations during the
present year.
go. Rumor has it that there is movement
under way to established District or Tri-
County fair at Grand Rapids; the plan of this
movement is to try and get the Wood Coun-
ty Agricultural Society and the Henry Coun-
ty Farmers Association to unite and move to
Grand Rapids, and take in as much as posi-
BILE of the territory of Lucas county, whose
county fair it is said is swallowed up by the
Tri-Strte Fair, where the average farmer and
stockman had but little show. Should this
plan succeed, with good board of managers
would make the biggest fair outside the Tri-
State Fair in Northwestern Ohio; as the
Wood County Agricultural Society and Hen
ry County farmers Association are each
hard to excel in making displays and with
Lucas added would surely make strong
fair. The advantages of location would be
excellent for railroad communication.

The aged father of Mrs. Silas Wright, Of
this place, died at his home in HarrisviIle,
New York, on the 18th of January. We clip
the following in relation to his death from
the Lowville, N. Y, Democrat:
Eli r. Paul was born in Wells, Ruthland
county. VT, March 20, 1921, died in Harris
vile, January 13, 1887 in the sixty-sixth year
of his age. When twelve years of age he re-
moved with his parents to Plessis, Jefferson
county, N. Y. In 1913 he was employed as
clerk in the store of his brother, w. A. Paul,
in Ogdensburg. In April, 1874, he was mar
ried to Miss Mary @. Owens, and Immediately
removed with his wife to Pitcairn, about two
miles from Harrisville, where for seventeen
years he carried on the mercantile business,
together with the business of making potash
farming and numbering. quite extensively
for that day. He was elected supervisor of
the town of Pitcairn, in the years 1S46-47-4S
In 1853 he removed to Harrisville, where
he continued in mercantile life. He con-
tracted to deliver 10000 cords of bark to
Messrs. Beach & Dodge, at $1.25 per cord.
He did it, but at loss of $1,000. In 1860 he
was elected Justice of the peace, which office
he held with the exception of one term) to
the day of his death. In 1881 he was elected
to the Office of justice of sessions, which Of
fee he filled with such acceptability that in
1886 he was reelected to the same Office,
which he held until death came to relieve
him from the responsibility.
He was the father of nine children, five
boys and four girls. Two boys and three
| girls are still living. Probably no more pub
lie spirited man ever lived in Harrisville than
he. His funeral was largely attended from
his late home. He was a life long and con-
sistent Democrat, and leaves many friends
to mourn his loss.

A Methdist minister tells this story:
Rev. William Barnes was an Irishman,
noted equally for his power and his
eccentricities. He wore @ shirt collar
of stupendous size, and curly wig.
The latter article of decoration was the
subject of some unfriendly criticism,
and, this coming to his ears, he pre-
faced his Sunday sermon with the fol-
low remarks: "Braithren, understand
theirs some of we that don't like it be-
cause wear a wag. Now, I've made
up my mind to wear it or not. iist as the
congregation says. Here 1 am: look at
me. This is Billy Barnes with the wag.
And this" the same time snatch
ing the offending wig from the top of
his bald pate,-'"This is Billy Barnes
without wag? Which way will ye have
him?" In the roars of laughter and
vociferous responces-"B Brother Barnes
with the wigw-that ensued, the wig
critics of old Union were utterly dis
comfited.
